Some 200 patriotic citizens lined one side of Highway K early this afternoon at the intersection of Highways K & N in O’Fallon, Mo. Their signs told the story of their passionate disdain for socialism, government-run health care and an out-of-control federal government. Across the street, barely a dozen individuals carried signs in support of the so-called “Public Option” and other liberal agenda items. In the video above, I showcase representatives from both sides of the street, allowing each to air their beliefs.
Rallies like the one today have become a weekly event, drawing as many as 300 conservative, Constitution-loving citizens weekly and outnumbering those with opposing views more than 10 to 1.
To learn more about Janet Allquist and what motivated her to organize the rallies, watch this video from Friday night’s St. Charles (Mo.) Tea Party. Janet is one of many individuals I interviewed. Hint: She’s standing in front of a K-N-Patriots.org banner.

Each Wednesday for 9 weeks two of us under the title of The Corner Club have been protesting congressional spending and Obama’s policies at a main intersection in Bel Air, MD.
But it looks like congress is ignoring all of you and the two of us.
You remember the 1999 Tennessee Tax
Revolt when the Republican governor called a special session of the legislature to enact an income tax, right. No, well the Media might have missed it, like the ACORN story. Anyway, when the citizens found out through talk radio and E-mails, they descended on the Capitol in a mass display of indignation. In some cases citizens utilized MLK’s tactics by staging sit-ins in legislative offices. The legislature backed down and to this day Tennessee does not have a state income tax. Think congress needs a dose of this?

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a plan!

The smartest people in the world learn from everyone and everything – to dismiss what lessons can be learned in a foreign country – because it is a foreign country or has some other not so envious condition is to be blind – completely blind and closed off to ideas. That’s not a very smart way to find solutions. You pick and choose from the best of what works. You leave behind the bad habits or missteps and learn from the mistakes of others. Check your red, white and blue arrogance at the door if you really want to learn anything and live in a better more peaceful, stable, equitable and sustainable world.

Paul — I’m not blind, and I can clearly see you’re trying to sell a book; therefore, I cut the length of your comment by about 95 percent. Regarding the remainder, let me say this: I’ve lived in foreign countries, I’ve used COBRA (an option intended to be temporary, stop-gap measure), and I vehemently oppose the so-called “public option”.

Not even 80 percent of the people carrying pro-public option signs at the intersection of Highways K and N in O’Fallon really want it, but they are willing to carry signs for $11/hour.
